Proposal details
Application has been made by Drain Bros. Excavating Limited to amend the current site plan. The change would permit below water extraction in the 15m and 30m setbacks along the east boundary. This change would allow for the pond to connect with the adjacent proposed below water expansion application (application #626457). Application #626457 considered below water extraction within these setbacks as it anticipated the two sites would connect to form a single pond. A decision has not yet been made on application #626457. This proposal and the expansion application are being considered by the ministry concurrently.
